Time pulls
between us like elastic
it stretches out to rebound
stinging

Sitting here
your hand runs through my hair
your eyes I thought I’d lost
the hours flick by like minutes
till it’s time to leave.

Time lies
the twenty years between us
wither in our smiles
this feeling we can’t shake
can never be inspired by others

though my God we’ve tried.

Time gifts
us moments you’ll remember
when I’ve turned to gold
a ray of winter sunshine
where you’ll hold the laughter

all the light we’ve
polished in our hearts:
now time can go to hell
just leave us drowning in this chance
to love again

one last time.
